I have seen them on ebay but it's easier to find a Nabi 2 battery on ebay. The Nabi 2 battery is quite a bit larger but with a very minor mod to the Nabi Jr. the Nabi 2 battery will fit and give you a much longer run time from a single charge.

My old Nabi jr battery is a plug in with 2 reds 1 white and 2 black wires. My new Cameron sino battery is blue green red yellow black. What is the order to resolder them.

I have the same problem with the problem of the replacement battery not having the same wiring configuration or plug. Did you ever get this resolved?

Caution!!! Check your battery type by using these instructions to open your Nabi Jr FIRST. This works with the older style battery only. Some models have a newer 6 wire McNair battery that just unplugs. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate a replacement for that just yet.
